Anesthetic Management of a Pregnant Woman with Limb-girdle Muscular Dystrophy in the Caesarean Section: A Case Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
In a study, we present the case of a 33-year-old obese patient with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) admitted for cesarean section. The patient was successfully managed by emergency caesarean section under spinal anesthesia. On physical examination after the operation, the force of the upper and lower extremity muscles were estimated to be 4/5 and 3/5, respectively. In this case, instead of epidural anesthesia we used spinal anesthesia, which is a safe technique recommended for emergency cesarean section in pregnant LGMD patients.
